Budget Chopper Bicycle

Step 17Finally...

The rear wheel is now a coaster brake so I do not need the rear brake mechanism, cable and lever.

Do you ever have any issues with your builds flexing at all?

Oh yes! Lots of flex! The bike is long and the tubes are narrow diameter. This was the first bike I made, so it's OK for a first attempt. It would flex less if it was shorter and I used thicker tubes. It's just for fun, though. I'm going to make another bike over the winter.
